Are You Wearing The Right Size Glove?
A golf glove is as important to you and your game as wearing the right size shoes or using the correctly fitted golf clubs and golf balls. However, many golfers tend to neglect this part of their game, and you will often see many players not wearing the right size glove for them. After all, the golf glove is the closest point of contact to the clubhead than any other piece of your equipment. If you are not wearing a correctly fitted glove, this can cause movement and compromise your swing. So a correct fit is crucial to your game, and as we all know, the little details can make a big difference in golf!

Here are some key points to look out for when wearing a glove.
- Fits Like A Second Skin: A correctly done glove should feel like a second skin. Tight across the palm and fingers with no loose material.
- Fingers Should Be Snug: You should not have any excess material at the top of your fingers. If this occurs, you may consider trying the next glove size down.
- Room To Adjust Closure: The closure tab should only come about 75% off across the back of your hand. You will want to leave a quarter uncovered to allow any adjustments while playing.

There are just two simple measurements you need to take down to find out what size glove you are in relation to the size guide.
- First, measure the length of your middle finger.
- Then measure the circumference of your hand, measure around the first knuckle (excluding the thumb)
- It would be best if you ended up with a measurement that looks something like this – (“8.5” x “11”)
Using the FootJoy size chart, this will then correlate into a glove size such as (Small, Medium, Medium/Large, Large, or X-Large)
Sizing Tips

- If your size differs from what you usually wear, try the size we recommend first.
- If your Finger Length and Palm Width number differ by more than 2, you will want to try on several sizes to determine the best compromise.
